Is that his sister/aunt?

No, that would be his biological sister Tosca.

His stepsister/aunt Jana Bezuidenhout would have been a year old at that time, and only moved in with his dad when she was four, ie after Elon had left home.

I hate that I felt compelled to look all of that up.

When I saw this in another thread, I quickly passed it over as just Musk doing his "TO MARS! FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANITY!" future-bullshit.

.....Then I took a closer look. Seriously, is it just the image's lovely quality, or are all the people being barred form the giant spaceship by armed police people of color?

So he's seeing himself as the guy behind Noah's Ark 2.0. Not even hiding the god complex anymore.

Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.
too many (of YOU) people signed up for my mastodon server so I got scared, registered for a DMCA authorized agent, set up an LLC and am in the process of putting up a blanket umbrella policy for it so one of you doesn't somehow cost me my house by sending goatman at Joe Biden or something.

I guess I could just shut the server down, but, "in for a dollar, in for $200". Or something.

Sounds like a decentralised social media service is always going to be unable to fulfil regulatory requirements. The software that allows people to make posts on the internet is like the most basic minimal part necessary, and that's all you have.

Just let Twitter die. There doesn't need to be a replacement.

I don't know what mastodon is but it's definitely not a twitter replacement as it fails the main twitter use case of "letting me yell at major corporations directly, instead of yelling at clouds"

The next year plus looks like it's gonna be a ridiculous set of twists and turns to arrive at some kind of "new normal" for soc media. Happy to throw a couple hundred bucks plus at liability-avoidance to run an instance through that storm, even if it's just another thing in the long list of year long projects I did and then abandoned to fester on the internet.

That said, there's a handful of content providers I was following who were already on mastodon and so that made me want to sign up to just continue to get those inputs, and at least messing around with standing up my own instance seemed like fun. So, here I am, $250 later.

We know it's not a twitter replacement because it existed years prior to twitter's downfall. I feel like a lot of the talk about Mastodon's survival from Mastodon's perspective must be like living in a tourist heavy port city in Europe and seeing Americans trundle off the cruise ship on motorized wagons saying "jeez I don't know if this place is going to make it, it sure ain't like home!"

a lotta yall still dont get it. ape holders can use multiple neuralinks on a single ape. so if you have 1 ape with a cerebral hemorrhage and 3 neuralinks you can create 3 new brain damaged apes.
